  • Sex tips that every man should learn: how to pleasure your partner to orgasm

    03/02/2023 Duration: 22min

    Men who are aware of female sexual anatomy relax more around sex and enjoy their sexual pleasure more. Why? Because they don’t have to work so hard (no pun intended) to “give” their partner an orgasm. Research shows that even in relationships, 85% of men will orgasm during sex while only 65% of women will orgasm during sex. Only 4% of women experience orgasm from only penetration, and a lot of women don’t have their first orgasm until they try a vibrator. While the entertainment industry has culturally taught us that men only orgasm from thrusting fast and hard, there are more pleasurable experiences to be discovered. There’s so much sexual freedom that comes from learning about female sexual anatomy! We cover topics like: 2:14: Why women have fewer orgasms than men and how it’s not your job to give your partner an orgasm (but tips to help you do it!) 4:30 How men can understand female anatomy to have mutual orgasms during sex 9:40 Introducing vibrators and sex toys for sex with a partner 12:30 Why vibration

Multi-system conditions, like Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, are hard to diagnose not only because many physicians are not educated about them, but also because people with Ehlers–Danlos syndrome experience vague clusters of symptoms that don’t fit within a specific medical specialty, leaving the majority of concerns undiagnosed or left with random and overlapping diagnoses. Libby Hinsley is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Yoga Therapist specializing in the treatment of chronic pain, hypermobility disorders, and yoga-related injuries.
